Act One: Creation
The energy of infinite consciousness (without abandoning its true
nature) manifests this creation. First. . .the notion of creation, then
light and the division of the universe. As a particle of consciousness
moves in space, it does 'there' what it did 'here' earlier; thus the
sequence of time arises, as well as spatial distinctions. Then, one after
the other, the diverse beings are created.
Act Two: Existence
Seeker (played
by infinite consciousness who has 'forgotten' his true nature)
"Who am I who speaks, walks,
stands and functions on this elaborate stage known as the world? I should
find this out."
Sage (played by
infinite consciousness)
"What is is as it is. All this is the
wonderful play of the mysterious power of consciousness. Experience this
in utter tranquility."
Act Three:
Dissolution
The Seeker
(played by infinite consciousness) of its own
accord awakens itself to its own true nature. Realizing that all this is
nothing but infinite consciousness, it attains equilibrium. Realizing
itself as a non-entity, it is reabsorbed in the consciousness of which it
is but a thought-emanation.
Running Time: One moment
During that moment itself the illusory notion
that it is of very long duration arises.

Author, Mind |
The infinite self entertains the notion 'I am Mind' . . .

and, assumes a variety of creatures with all sorts of
relationships existing between them and all subject to time.

About the Cast |
Infinite Consciousness plays the roles of all beings.
Like a mirror which holds a reflection within itself,
without undergoing any modification in itself, this consciousness appears as
all these countless beings.

What the Reviewers Say |
"It is clear that this is nothing
but the play of the mind; the mind itself is but the play of the omnipotent
infinite being."
